Difficult to trudge through and definitely went over my head in point and purpose. I kept wondering when I’d get to the end while reading.

A super lush and haunting story. A bit slow to start up but filled with everything dark and gruesome and enchanting.
This book engages with conversations on race, mestizaje, gentrification, and gendered roles.
